Chapter 174: Worm Girl Faith
Three dark red sunsets, slowly setting from different directions.
The night of the insect star finally began to fall a hundred hours after the insect king issued the edict of marching.
The Zerg warships in the dust cloud are still busy, the major space cities of the Zerg are still lit up with sporadic lights, and the military factories are still in large-scale production. The Zerg warship that received the edict, Justice flew in the universe at half the speed of light, rushing to the next locked interstellar coordinate.
The Zerg planets begin to gradually cool after orbiting away from their stars.
At night, the dark sky of the insect star began to drift down showers of nitrogen, from small to large, and finally into a curtain of beads, turning into a curtain of liquid nitrogen.
Nitrogen falls into ice, and the surface of the planet is frozen for thousands of miles.
The temperature dropped rapidly, and soon after, the insect star was frozen under a thick layer of ice and entered the long night.
On the planet's surface, all swarms have entered the thermostat underground cave bunkers.
The Insect King Sacred Palace is like a huge insect-shaped ice sculpture, just like a crystal clear specimen.
In the underground palace of the Holy Palace, in the delicate cave that exudes the smell of decay, two forelimbs shaped like palms are sending a bloody biological limb to their mouths to gnaw with relish.
Eating is the need for the Zerg's physical strength before they sleep after entering the cold night.
This is a large rhinoceros forelimb raised by the Zerg, which has just been transported by the royal palace golden beetle team from the food base thousands of miles away from the holy palace before nightfall.
In Worm Star, the earliest food of the Holy Clan, in addition to the dead kind, was the blood food that was raised.
Of course, the Holy Clan's breeding industry is now highly developed, and the bases for raising rhinoceros, zebras, rats and other blood food are all over the planet.
Even in the ecosystem of the major space cities and expeditionary Zerg warships in the galaxy, there are large-scale food breeding bases and fresh food, and there is no need to devour the corpses of the same kind.
But the ancient traditions that have been preserved in the evolution of the race are still respected by all the people, and are used in special occasions and punishments.
After mastering the technology of gene cloning, the Zerg Code clearly stipulates that without the permission of the devoured, no matter how scarce the food is, no one of the tribes is allowed to devour the living kind, and it is forbidden for the tribes to bite and hurt each other in groups.
In ancient times, when there was no such code, the Zerg were the jungle and evolved by devouring each other.
This is true of the insect king, and the same is true of ordinary races.
But today, the ancient tradition of devouring one's own kind on special occasions such as sacrifices and punishments is still considered legal.
After devouring the small half of the rhinoceros forelimbs, the centian-eyed woman used her palm-like forelimbs to take out a sticky and smelly cloth-like fiber, wiped her bloody mouth, and opened her mouth to burp. With a satisfied expression, it was obvious that this blood meal tasted good.
During the daytime holy sacrifice ceremony, the insect girl did not eat the body of the tyrannosaur prince out of respect for the dinosaur civilization. Although she knew that this would cause the Holy King to be dissatisfied, she politely refused.
For the ancient and solemn holy sacrifice ceremony of the Zerg, the current Zerg Girl is full of disgust and resistance. The Worm Girl hopes that the race will embark on the path of graceful evolution, abandon the bad habit of devouring, and conquer each other with civilization and education as the royal way, rather than the devouring and destruction that the race has pursued since ancient times.
The insect girl knew that although the Holy King was the supreme authority in the race, no one dared to disobey the king's edict. But she believed that if she was given some time, she would be willing to preach for the edification of the Holy King, the leaders of the tribes, and even the entire race, so that the light of God could shine on the entire race.
After disposing of the food residues from her mouth, the insect girl went to the dark and hidden dark room in the cave, and from a black rectangular box, she took out an old book made of unknown fiber, with a shabby and blackened cover, written in insect script.
The insect girl regards books as treasures, and her blue eyes all reveal anthropomorphic vigilance.
After seeing that there was no movement in the cave, the palm-shaped two limbs of the hundred-eyed insect woman held the old book very solemnly, walked upright with her two hind limbs to a black and stinky insect-shaped groove, and lay down gently.
This is the first long night after the Millennial Sacrifice, and it will last for 240 hours.
In the long cold night, the restless and active day of the Zerg has passed, entering periodic dormancy, only when the sun rises again, the temperature rises, the ice thaws, and the sky falls on the Zerg called Ganlin's thick sulfuric acid rain, is the best time for the Zerg to reproduce actively.
All the blue eyes of the insect girl stared at the insect text on the old book, and a few blood-red characters were written on the book cover:
"The Prophet Prophecy, the Prophet Speaks at the Providence of God."
"May God forgive the sins of the king, may God forgive the sins of the race, may God protect the holy family from perishing, may the tyrannosaur prince rest in peace, may the dinosaur family rest in peace......"
The insect girl's eyes were slightly closed, and she began to pray silently in her heart while holding the book.
After a few minutes, the Centennial Worm Girl opened her eyes again, opened the old book full of worm texts, and began to read.
The prophet wrote:
"Time originated at the beginning of all things, in the infinitesimally small chaos of the quantum scale before the Big Bang.
Time, like the universe, is infinitely old, and the moment the universe existed, time already existed and will always exist.
Therefore, time is the only god who determines life and death, and it is unsurpassable and invincible.
In the face of the omnipotent god of time, all existence is small, and no matter how powerful it is, it will be annihilated in a long and long time.
To fear time is to fear God.
And only a race that fears time will be forgiven and protected by God.
All galaxies and civilizations in the universe are the people of the God of Time, including the Holy King and every member of the Holy Race.
Since all galactic civilizations are God's people, they are all brothers and sisters, and they should cherish and respect each other, and avoid killing and destroying each other.
It is only in time of faith and reverence that we act according to God's will that we will be forgiven by God and live with our other brothers and sisters under God's protection.
Those who disobey God's will will will one day be punished.
And God's will is to do everything in his power to convey God's thoughts......
The Changing Insect Girl held the "Sermon Oracle" written by the prophet in insect script, and fell into deep contemplation. She knew that even if she was the daughter of a noble holy king, she secretly collected this forbidden book, which had been classified as a rebellious speech by the entire race, if it was discovered by other races, she would be sentenced to death and eaten alive by other races as a sacrifice.
But she kept the book secretly, believing the words of the prophets and the will of God.
She believed in the prophet's deathbed warning: the race needed to be saved.
At a time when she did not trust the Prophet, the Prophet had asked to meet the Holy King and preach to him.
The Prophet asked the Holy King to convert to the supreme god of time, respect the right of other races in the galaxy to exist, establish friendly relations with other galaxies, and order the Zerg to abandon foreign expansion and adopt a moderate foreign policy of common prosperity.
The Holy King was furious, and rebuked the Prophet for betraying his race, and ordered the people to tie the Prophet to the Prophet outside the Sacred Palace Square to share the food.
Before he died, the Prophet preached one last time in the name of God under the gnawing of many people:
Please forgive the ignorance and sins of the Holy King and his people, and warn that the Holy Race will one day perish in the universe due to their endless desire for expansion.
Finally, the prophet predicted the era of the fifth-level civilization of the Zerg, predicted the existence of other life such as dinosaurs and interstellar in the galaxy, and predicted that the Worm King would evolve a new variant and grow a tenth head.
But all races, including the Holy King, ignore the prophecies of the prophets and the power of God, believing that all outcomes can be explained by the logic of technological explosion and evolution, and defying God's existence in the universe.
The Prophet is dead if she also ignores the existence of God. There will be no more deliverers for the whole race, and there will be no more prophets.
The worm girl knows that without God, the race will lose faith. The absence of faith means that the whole race will be like in this era, and the people will lose their reverence and become inflated and greedy.
Although greed and bloodthirstiness are the innate biological nature of the Holy Race, boundless greed is dangerous and sinful, and one day the entire race will be sent to the grave of the universe, making everything in the Zerg a thing of the past and disappearing into the long history of the galaxy.
The Hundred-Eyed Worm Woman knows deep down that everything will become history, and there is only one thing that will not be defeated, and that is time.
Time is the greatest enemy of all, and it is also the most worthy of being taken seriously and revered.
You can't defeat yourself, the Holy King and the Holy Queen, the heads of all tribes, and even the entire race can't be defeated, time is invincible, time is the god who defeats everything, and the supreme god in the mouth of the prophet is the time that has been passing in the universe.
Like the Prophet, the Worm Girl believes that not only the Holy King, but the entire race needs the light of God and needs to be saved by the power of education.
The Worm Girl is convinced of the prophecies of the prophets of the race.
And the worm girl, as the only person in the entire race who still believes that God is always there and believes in God, she will inherit the legacy of the prophet, shoulder the burden of saving the race, and preach forward.
Even if one day she was executed for violating the will of the Holy King, tied to the Worm King's Holy Palace and was eaten and martyred by all the clansmen, she had no regrets.
This is her mission and the bright future she will fight for for her race.
"Hua'er, the cold night has arrived, why haven't you entered hibernation yet?" Suddenly, there was a sound of insects crawling, and the sound of the queen worm came from outside the cave.
"After the consecration, I have finished eating, and I am about to fall asleep." The hundred-eyed insect girl showed a panicked expression in her eyes, and hurriedly pressed the book under her body.
"Hurry up and fall asleep, the Holy King has fallen into a deep sleep, the cold night will soon pass, and the next day will come." Outside the door, the urging of the millipede queen was heard again.
"Got it, say hello to the Holy Queen, after the cold night, see you in the Holy Palace!" After seeing the insects, she didn't enter the house, and the hundred-eyed insect woman breathed a sigh of relief, showing a lucky look in her blue eyes, and responded perfunctorily.
"Goodbye, Hua'er, Benhou will also fall asleep, may the cold pass soon." The millipede's voice faded away.
"O God, grant me and my people a peaceful sleep, and after the cold night, I will fulfill the prophet's last wish at your will, and pass on the incomparable and supreme teachings."
On a cold night when the worm stars were silent, the worm girl carefully put the prophet's book of sermons written in worm script back into the rectangular box box in the dark room, and returned to the worm-shaped trench to sleep in silent prayer.
Outside the Worm King's Sacred Palace, the nitrogen rain in the sky was even greater.
temperature, becoming lower......
